Sunnyvale Photo Club Meeting

Photo Microscopy
Robert Rewick

"Bob Rewick, a physical-inorganic chemist, a professional photographer, an author, a
beekeeper, and a photography judge, will give a presentation on photo microscopy, i.e. taking
pictures through a microscope.

The subjects he chooses are not biological specimens, but chemical materials when viewed
through cross-polarized light in a microscope, produce a myriad of abstract colored shapes,
patterns and forms not usually seen in the real world, which are not produced by photoshop
manipulations. He has published an article on this subject in Camera and Darkroom, when the
Journal was in existence.

Bob will demonstrate the relatively cheap equipment needed for this type of photography, the
principles behind the generation of the colored subjects, the simplicity of obtaining dozens of
abstract images on one microscope slide, and show a few images from the hundreds of
photographs he has taken."
